The MNIT Jaipur cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Main rank 5,868 (Other State OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 14,833, Electronics and Communication Engg at 9,309, Mechanical Engineering at 18,965 and Civil Engineering at 34,145.
In 2026, every MNIT Jaipur program had closed by JEE Main rank 37,814 for Other State OPEN seats. Students from Rajasthan compete separately for Home State seats, which close at different ranks (table below). Below is the MNIT Jaipur branch-wise cutoff for all 10 programs and every category, from the official JoSAA opening and closing ranks, with the trend since 2023.
These are the final-round (Round 5) closing ranks from JoSAA 2026: the last JEE Main rank that got a seat in each program. Programs are sorted from hardest to easiest.
| Program | Other State (OPEN) | Home State: Rajasthan (OPEN) | Other State, female-only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 5,868 | 6,143 | 10,627 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Engg | 6,300 | 7,520 | 11,630 |
| Mathematics and Computing | 7,039 | 8,481 | 13,410 |

Source: JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks, Round 5 (final), josaa.admissions.nic.in. Ranks are JEE Main 2026 Common Rank List (CRL) ranks. Female-only seats include supernumerary seats. B.Arch is left out because it uses the JEE Main Paper 2 rank list.
Female-only seats are easier. MNIT Jaipur CSE closed at 10,627 in the female-only pool against 5,868 gender-neutral. Girls are considered for both pools, so include both in your list.
NITs keep half of their seats for students whose state code of eligibility is the NIT's own state. For MNIT Jaipur that state is Rajasthan. Your state code of eligibility is the state where you first took the Class 12 exam, not where you live (JoSAA 2026 Business Rules, clause 8).
In 2026, the Home State closing rank was higher (easier) than the Other State one for 8 of the 10 programs. For CSE, Rajasthan students got a seat up to rank 6,143, while students from other states needed 5,868. If you are from Rajasthan, MNIT Jaipur is one of your strongest options; if not, also compare the NIT in your own state.
For reserved categories, JoSAA uses your category rank, not your CRL rank. These are Other State gender-neutral seats in the final round.

The biggest moves were Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (from 33,371 to 37,814), Chemical Engineering (from 23,203 to 26,818) and Civil Engineering (from 31,400 to 34,145). If your rank is just outside a program that moved a lot, choosing Float or Slide and waiting for later rounds can pay off. If it barely moved, a later round is unlikely to change your result.
Based on the 2026 final-round closing ranks (Other State OPEN, gender-neutral). Find your rank's row: you could get each program in it whose closing rank is larger than your rank, plus every program in the rows below.

|---|---|
| 1 to 5,868 | Computer Science and Engineering (5,868) |
| 5,869 to 6,300 | Artificial Intelligence and Data Engg (6,300) |
| 6,301 to 7,039 | Mathematics and Computing (7,039) |

| Beyond 37,814 | No Other State OPEN gender-neutral seat in 2026. |
Cutoffs change every year, so treat a rank within about 5% of a closing rank as borderline. Our Smart List marks every option as Safe, Likely or Reach, tested on four years of official JoSAA results.
Which rank counts: NIT seats use your JEE Main rank (CRL, or category rank for reserved categories). JEE Advanced is not needed for NITs.
